Ah, Noguchi, the idiot who tested an extract of syphilis on himself, got infected with syphilis and refused treatment, and tested the same extract on poor little orphans.

Basically a textbook example of the unethical Asian scientist. Granted, he's far more benevolent than most, unlike Unit 731.

(And of course, he's technically not too bad for the standards of his time.)

Sad to say the U.S. was just as bad.

Aye, their 'inject black people with syphillis for the lulz' program ran until the mid 70's

Well, all scientist and science borderline geniuses doing life-saving and changing research for the best of humanity and psychopathic unethical jackasses that just want to play god even at the expense of destroying the world.

A single discovery comes at an expense of an astronomical amount of sacrifices in the name of science anyway.
Not saying that it's right, but ethics, science, the 2 never really go hand in hand.

Well, if you think about it, when you know nothing at all back then, you just have to run things and see how it go. It's not like there's a random tree with some random writings about how to make a medicine somewhere in the world.

theres no guide for something that never been found, ppl who willingly contribute for the testing are actually the most commendable. ironically sometimes those ppl are a no name beggar that ppl dont care about
